I didn't do them all. Some quests, I just did as I went along. Like finding flowers and what not. I'm gonna take a little break till after the ECF to try and get most of the challenged complete.
ha, it was mostly joking, but how can you know you did all the sidequests in a game this big? some stuff is meant to be ed with, a game like this seems like one of those items.

so its better than that vastly overrated gta4
It is IMHO. GTA4 bored me. This game is fun. I just got to Mexico. Without revealing spoilers, some is flat out hilarious.
This isn't even comparable to the -fest known as GTA4. The controls aren't clunky like GTA 4, and whole landscape of the game is better.
How biig is the world? Compare with GTA4, FO3/Oblivion.
I've never really been into the GTA series. I had some fun screwing around in the Vice City version but outside of that, nothing really. The missions got real repe ive and didn't hold my attention for very long. I found it much more enjoyable to wreak havoc through town rather than actually play the game.
I'd say it's about the same size as GTA: SA. It obviously takes a lot longer to travel around, cause there are only horses.
"I found it much more enjoyable to wreak havoc through town rather than actually play the game."
Back in the day (GTA3 first came out), I'd do the all weapons cheat and go blues brothers 2000 on that . Tons of cops chasing, tanks, and me with a load of weaponry. Nowadays I much prefer killing humans but those were some of the greatest times I ever had gaming. The entire sandbox idea was so new and done so well for GTA3.
Can you take trains or wagon trains or anything around? lol
Exactly what I did. I had the Xbox 360 version and would get up in a building and see how many stars I could get with the weapon cheat codes. Have you played the PC version? That's a whole new world of cheat codes if you've got it.
They have the equivalent to a taxi on this game. And the trains are slower than horses, but you can take them.You can even be on top of them while they drive. Unlike GTA 4.
I just picked up my copy today, so I'll be on that like crazy tonight. I just also completed Heavy Rain and was impressed with that game, so I'm a ready for a new challenge...
this is among the best open world games ever made.
period. terrific so far.
...
You know, if the Xbox360 wasn't going for about U$400 here in Buenos Aires, I might consider buying the damn thing just for this game. Having said that, no ing game is worth s ing U$400+.
You don't got family in America who could buy it for you and ship it out? That's what we do with my uncle when anything is more expensive in Mexico and cheaper here. North America and South America have the same regions, too.
How many more years until the next xbox comes out? 2011-12? Fuuuuuuuuuuu, if I buy a 360 for this game I will need a tv as well :|
$60 games, xbl account, network adapter??....sonofa
Damn. Had 20 friends on earlier and 11 of them were playing RDR. Even the people who I only ever see playing MW2 had it on.
Epic thats all I can say.
weee amazing game spent 3 hours just in free roam
Started playing yesterday at about 7:00 and quit at 12:30.
I am the exact opposite player Mexican is. I have completed 3 "wanted" missions and couldnt figure out how to take them alive (in game tutorial is , btw). I shoot them in the knee, they just get back up and start shooting.
I couldnt figure it out. Turns out, you need to complete the Bonnie quests to get the lasso...and Presto! You can hogtie and lasso fools to take them alive.
Word to the Wise: New players, complete the Bonnie quests before doing anything. Or should I say, at least get to the "break a mustang" portion and get your lasso.
I didnt, Ive been all over, completing stranger quests, moving the story along with the Marshall, etc....all without a Lasso. Stupid.
I'll say this, the Xbox doesnt have on the PC. This game is going to look amazing when it hits for PC, because thats about all I can think about when roaming around, watching the sunset and sunrise, when the stars come out, hanging out at a random campfire with strangers. All I keep saying is "Man, this looks good/great on Xbox...this is going to blow away on PC." Maybe not Crysis standard, but one small step below.
I had an "oh " moment when on a clear blue sunny, desert day (i was killing rabbits or something), a big "BOOM" goes across my living room. A deep, bellowing "BOOM". Im looking around like "WTF?" Paused the game and listened to the house...nothing.
Unpause and "BOOM". ...and then a torrential in-game downpour ensues. My consoles are hooked through my surround system and I had never heard the coming rain before in the game. It was so incredibly spot-on it actually tricked me into looking around the house.
The sound is amazing in this game, the SFx are ridiculous. Voice-acting is on par with other major les, nothing ground-breaking (yet, anyway), but still wholly satisfying and nothing that pulls you from the experience.
I kept hearing and reading reviews that say "This is GTA4 in the West". No, no it isnt Mr. Lazy Writer.
Its far from. The mechanics and controls may be the same or extremely similar, but the world, mission variety, scope, story-telling and subtlties are nothing like GTA4.
I have less than 5-ish hours played and have only seen Armadillo, MacFarlane Ranch and one other little town, I have done 3-4 side Stranger missions, 3 "Wanted" missions, completed all Rank 2 Hunter challenges and am well into the Rank 1 Survivalist Challenges, 3-4 Bonnie mission, 3-4 Marshall missions and have encountered 3-4 "little side mission events" every time I travel (you'll know what I am talking about).
GTA4 was a city that teemed with people, traffic and cool radio stations. Beyond that, people werent going anywhere or doing anything, youd hear soem wise-ass conversation theyre having on the phone, but that was the depth of character(s) on the street.
Already in RDR, the people live in that world. They go to work, theyre delivering messages, rounding cattle, heisting, getting drunk, carousing, attempted rape, attacked by wild animals, getting chased by the law, random bandits will enter towns and whoop it up, etc, etc, etc.
This is all the Ive seen in less than 5 hours (and no lasso, !). So far, an incredible game. Top notch....everything.
And that's why I won't be buying it until it's 29 bucks. GTA IV's mechanics, em. It's like gaming in slow motion; controlling a latent puppet. And though I haven't seen or played RRD, I am still feeling burned by the similar 10.0 GTA IV reviews, my subsequent false optimism and my even more subsequent fall back to the reality of how ty it truly was.I kept hearing and reading reviews that say "This is GTA4 in the West". No, no it isnt Mr. Lazy Writer.

We'll see how this game looks in a couple months time. Until then, I'll get my mission variety, scope and story telling from Alan Wake.
The sfx are good from what I have heard. When it started raining, the footsteps sounds changed and it sounded like the char was stepping in puddles/mud.
Reading the Geek Zone has revealed that I am not a discriminating gamer. I buy and try everything, for every system, so long as the genre fits my tastes.
Sandbox games are the , to me. I still dont think theyve been done properly, but RDR is a very nice addition to the genre. FO3 and Oblivion are very high on my list and even very early into my play with RDR, I dont think it will be able to reach those games, but its a very solid game in my library that will be played ad nauseum.
